M. Chairman. The work of developing the water power of the French Broad river will be poshed rapidly for ward according to the plans of the North Carolina Electrical Pow er compa'ny which is the name of the corporation holding sites on the river hitherto marked out as available for the building of dams, The North Carolina Electrical Power company is a subsidiary corporation of the Weaver Power company and is controlled and omcered by practically the same men. It is planned by the com pany to erect a large dam across the French Broad river below Marshall which will make possible the generation of an electrical power of twice the horse power of the Weaver Dam plant in this county. Capt.

W. T. Weaver and his as sociates purchased the land and water right near Marshall together with the Ivy plant and other riparian right further up; the French Broad last April frpm a concern which had been planning to build and power stations. Owing to the -stringent ditions prevailing at the time, however, but little was done to ward developing the property During the summer surveys were made and tentative plans laid out for tho building of a plant on the site below Marshall, but nothing further was done until within the ast- few weeks when additional surveys have been made and plans for the work practically put in their final shape. NEGOTIATING WITH SOUTHERN.

The only obstacle to the im niediate beginning of the work of building the dam is some differ ence between the power company the Southern railway as to the removal of the railway tracks from the banks of the river where the dam will cause the stream to overflow. Negotiations have been pending for some time between the power company and the rail road looking to a-settlement of these differences, and it is ex pected that an ageemnt will soon be reached. The railroad coni- pany is willing to move its auu iiiio uiiijr pvuuii ui uiuereiicu id regard thereto is the amount ojf -J iL. 1. 1 -1 i-i't damages which the power com pany shall pay for the removal.

The engineers have been survey ing and laying out a new line for the Southern along this part of the river but have hot yet made their final report. It is expected that these will be turned in soon and then a settlement can be reached. The preliminary surveys for the railroad would eliminate several sharp curves, and give the company a much better roadway and at the same time would furn ish the power company with sufficient 'atone for the building of their dain. MONSTER DAM. The for the( new power plant call for a dam across the French Broad thirty-six feet high to be bonstructed of concrete and stoneY The generating plant is to be located at one endr of the dam so that HO canal would be necessary to carry the water and give it a fall.

The plant as plumad will be twice as large as the Reaver dam plant in this county, and will have twice the horse power capacity. is estimated that it will take an east two years to do the construc tion employing a force of 150 men continuously and that the cost of the plant 'will be in the neighborhood of $450,000. The power generated at this plant will connected with the same transmission line as the Weaver plant and the Ivy plant, thereby giving a combined total of about 10,000 horse power. This will ha ftdMinaiA to nrovidA mo tive pewer and lighting for all the I towns and cities within the reach oftbe plant for many years to come, and it will at the same time encourage the location of new manufacturing concerns in this locality.

One great reason why our friends north of Mason and Dixon line have taken the lead in making money is the fact that they utilize every part of everything they deal with. If a beef is killed, not only is the flesh of the animal used, but his hair, his hide, his horns, his hoofs, and every part of the animal is turned into account, while with us practically all is lost save the flesh.

This is true of timber, we see a fine tree cut down and only a few feet of it used and the rest go to waste, while they might work up every foot of it. It is not so much what a people have and what they make as it is what they save and take care of. Catawba County News. Shingles From Years a Tree Old. 1,100 A lumber company at Buckley, recently sent out a num ber of souvenir shingles that were cut from a tree 1,100 years old.

The tree from which the shingles were cut had 350 rings, which fact denotes that it was 350 rears old when it fell. The stump of a tree which grew over it has 750 rings, and as this could not have started to grow until some time after the first fell it is practically certain that the original tree was thriving in A.
